One of the oldest private schools in the United States, Lincoln Academy has been educating students for over 200 years. LA is a private, co-educational high school of 520 students from 18 local towns and as well as six countries. It is located in a safe, beautiful town on the coast of Maine, 50 miles northeast of Portland and three hours from Boston. LA’s beautiful campus; excellent, caring faculty; and friendly students provide the ideal living and learning environment. LA students are encouraged to explore their talents, discover new ones, and reach their highest potential.

CAMPUS: Nine buildings set on over 100 acres in the coastal town of Newcastle, Maine; within walking distance of the twin villages of Newcastle and Damariscotta; state of the art science laboratories; spacious, modern dining commons with patio; new residence halls for boys and girls; college counseling center; theater building on campus; extensive athletic fields and tennis courts; campus-wide wireless network; Applied Technology and Engineering Center coming in January 2015.

LA has an extremely welcoming culture: a student ambassador program, which pairs American students with local students; a high number of day students participating in weekend activities; and day faculty, who are excited about sharing their interests with the residential students.

The majority of LA’s students come from the surrounding towns, and only 9% are international. Therefore, students at Lincoln Academy are really able to have an authentic American high school experience.

The food is delicious! LA’s Executive Chef left a local award-winning restaurant to cook for our students and uses locally sourced ingredients for the students’ meals. He works closely with students to determine what kinds of food they want.
